A treble weekend and a treble good-deed opp for Louise, Deb and Tanya. We are suitably impressed with your efforts!

After hot-footing it across from Saltwell Junior parkrun where we had helped out with a mini-takeover, Louise, Deb and Tanya met Paul, Jose, Amy and Dan ready to get stuck into a bunch of prickly and heavy jobs at new task location Hodgkin Park. The tasks we do with Urban Green are always firm favourites as brilliant task leaders Mike and Maddie have everything organised and proper physical tasks waiting.. as well as tea and biscuits - what's not to love?!

Regular GoodGymers will be relieved to see Dan back where he belongs with a wheelbarrow in his hands as he worked on clearing overgrown paths, collecting bricks and rebuilding a damaged wall with Paul, Amy and José.

"This feels a lot like Tetris!"

Close by, Deb Tanya and Louise were learning exactly what a pin cushion feels like as they got stuck into clearing brambles which were going to be transformed into goat feed! How very Goat-Gym of us.

Hundreds of squats later, Louise reflected that she might just feel it tomorrow.

"It's not like I am recovering from a marathon or anything!"

We are really grateful to spend mornings like these, making the places we love safer and better.

Check out all those photos.. what a difference!
